From the beats that got everyone dancing to the sea of fans singing along, it was pure desi energy taking over Australia in the biggest way possible. Diljit Dosanjh makes history The Sydney show saw tickets selling out completely, some reportedly priced as high as $800. The stadium, packed with nearly 30,000 fans, transformed into a vibrant celebration of culture and identity. The atmosphere was electric as fans sang along, waved flags, and filled the venue with boundless energy and pride. Adding a personal touch to the evening, one fan and his family paid tribute to Dosanjh by recreating his iconic Met Gala 2025 outfit during the concert. The gesture caught the audience’s attention, and in a heartwarming moment, Diljit invited the children from the family onto the stage. Dosanjh’s ongoing Aura Tour 2025 follows the success of his previous Dil-Luminati World Tour, which spanned over 40 shows across North America, the UK, India, Europe, and the UAE. That tour drew more than 7.5 lakh attendees and reportedly grossed over $100 million, with multiple sold-out arenas in cities including Delhi, London, and Vancouver.
